My Project

Help my students bring their ideas to life through hands-on STEM and visual arts projects! With a glue gun, craft sticks, binder clips, journal kits, blank craft cards, and inspirational cards, they will be able to design, build, and express themselves creatively while developing critical problem-solving and engineering skills.

These materials will be used for STEM challenges, engineering prototypes, and artistic expression, allowing students to explore structural design, creative writing, and motivational projects.

Whether constructing small-scale models, journaling reflections on their learning, or crafting inspirational messages, these resources will foster innovation, resilience, and confidence in every student.
